NAME
mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar - Allocates a DEVX UAR mlx5dv_devx_free_uar - Frees a DEVX UAR
SYNOPSIS
#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h> struct mlx5dv_devx_uar *mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar(struct ibv_context *context, uint32_t flags); void mlx5dv_devx_free_uar(struct mlx5dv_devx_uar *devx_uar);
DESCRIPTION
Create / free a DEVX UAR which is needed for other device commands over the DEVX interface. The DEVX API enables direct access from the user space area to the mlx5 device driver, the UAR information is needed for few commands as of QP creation.
ARGUMENTS
context RDMA device context to work on. flags Allocation flags for the UAR. MLX5DV_UAR_ALLOC_TYPE_BF: Allocate UAR with Blueflame properties. MLX5DV_UAR_ALLOC_TYPE_NC: Allocate UAR with non-cache properties. MLX5DV_UAR_ALLOC_TYPE_NC_DEDICATED: Allocate a dedicated UAR with non- cache properties. devx_uar struct mlx5dv_devx_uar { void *reg_addr; void *base_addr; uint32_t page_id; off_t mmap_off; uint64_t comp_mask; }; reg_addr The write address of DB/BF. base_addr The base address of the UAR. page_id The device page id to be used. mmap_off The mmap offset parameter to be used for re-mapping, to be used by a secondary process.
RETURN VALUE
Upon success mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar will return a new struct mlx5dv_devx_uar, on error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.
